Allright, I've been trying out different things, made a clean install of hardy alpha 5, and have found out the following....
If I boot with the following flag: noapic noirqdebug the system will shut down and/or restart properly. (noapic by itself works too) Wireless won't work, but that is a different story... After shutting down or restarting, next boot will boot properly, but it won't shutdown or restart properly (this being because I had not added any boot flags this time around) If I boot without the noapic flag, whenever I try to shut down the computer won't restart nor shutdown. I have to manually press the power button to turn off and start again. This following time the laptop won't boot up properly (it'll stay stuck at "Loading Hardware drivers". I am therefore forced to turn off by pressing the power off button and add once again the noapic noirqdebug flag. To put it shortly, I have a feeling that the new kernel fixes in 2.6.24 which have allowed me to boot without the noapic command are close to perfect but not there yet... the noapic flag is still necesarry intermittently.... I'll try to report more as asked or as I find out... -- Hardy alpha 4 - Shutdown not powering off.
